WILT RESISTANT ROYAL ASTERS. 



A strain of Asters, resistant to the 

 dreaded aster wilt has finally been de- 

 veloped after years of work. By using 

 these strains gardeners can now be 

 assured of raisins- fine Asters regard- 

 less of how heavily their soil is in- 

 ff-ctf-d. We have selected the Royal 

 Asters for our first offering of this 

 new strain, as we consider it the best 

 all around variety. It blooms early and 

 over a long period, flowers are fairly 

 large and are borne on long stems 

 suitable for cutting.
